G'Day Pete, It seems to work out at a really rough conversion rate of Australian dollar = euro = usd as far as the 'sticker price' for postage. The difference of course is in the exchange rates. The dearest thing I have ever shipped was a canvas camping swag 30 inches long, 12 inches thick and weighing about 9 kg. I shipped that to California using good old Aussie Post for about 40.00 (roughly 20-22 euros/usd). Looking at the European postage charges, I would have needed a bank loan...

The shipping does souns a tad expensive, from a "rip-off Britain" (har) pov. If I sent a 2kg package to Australia by TNT courier it would cost GBP25 consignment fee, plus GBP5/kg. GBP35 ie US$52 odd. Although I should add that the weight is also based on volumetric so although the goods might only weigh 1.5kg packed, the volumetric weight might come to 3kg. Funny old world. Peter
